I laughed so hard when I saw that part of the film, whoever wrote it clearly knows scifi fandom well.

That's how Wormhole Xtreme/200 should have been. It's the perfect parody of scifi without hamming it up or making fun of the fans. Sadly, I personally feel that several of TPTB just don't get that subtlety. Such a shame.Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

Originally posted by Samantha-Carter-is-my-muse View PostGalaxy Quest certainly handled that very well - so many brilliantly funny moments. I liked 200 a lot more than Wormhole Xtreme, while the friend who introduced me to SG-1 thinks 200 is a mess that she couldn't make heads or tails of. I like to think of it as a collection of ideas that couldn't be made into an episode on their own, but put together like that was just fun to watch
Like, for example, the Wizard of Oz. the old-timers of the fandom know that Sam has always been Dorothy and Jack the scarecrow. Instead they make Mitchell the scarecrow and Vala Dorothy and Sam gets relegated to Glinda - why?! And why does Jack not get married in his uniform when everyone went gaga over the POV wedding pic? He's a General, for crying out loud! Why just get married in a boring suit? I also don't get why half the scenes with RDA had him invisible or as a puppet - the man was there, no substitute needed!Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.

Originally posted by fems View PostWell, if RC was in charge he probably would have preferred getting away with having Jack invisible during the wedding scene, just so he wouldn't have to work with RDA. He probably tried to limit it as much as possible but was pressured by others to use RDA because that would make the episode more special.

Didn`t I read somewhere that originally RDA was unavailable so they had to come up with a workaround? He was going to phone the lines in or something. So they couldn`t really have scenes with him in it. Then he decided to visit the set.
I liked the puppet bit, but I thought it was too long. Overall, I quite liked 200. The reference scenes to other SCI FI shows were hilarious.
As for Jack and not getting married in his uniform - while I think he looks great, perhaps A) we can chalk it up to the dream and B) it was his way of saying that the air force has nothing to do with this marriage! He wanted to stand in solidarity with Sam.
Just possible rationales.

Originally posted by Samantha-Carter-is-my-muse View PostGood, valid points, Amber - I hadn't thought about Jack not wearing his uniform for the wedding, it's kind of odd.
I didn't know that RC had problems with RDA (I'm still a newbie in this fandom).Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!

Maybe Sam and Jack decided neither of them was going to wear their uniform or they both would; since Sam ended up in a white dress Jack had to wear a regular suit too.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):

Originally posted by hedwig View PostThey had quite a falling out when RDA left the show. It was over how the show should be run. RDA had his own thoughts about that, that included being respectful to the Air Force. RCC, however, could have cared less about that and wanted to do things his own way. I'd say he probably kicked the Air Force right out of being advisers to the show, but I don't know that. RDA said things were extremely chilly ("arctic, in fact") between him and RCC after RDA left the show.
So what? I'm still a rock star, I've got my rock moves and I don't need you!
And guess what? I'm having more fun now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight!
Heehee, I'm being harsh but it made me giggle! The thing is, RDA was right. Sorry, just sayin' *shrugs*.Sam and Jack... Still the best romance on TV in years!
